I wonder if brownshirts would take me away for making such a film. I could probably submerge peonies in urine and nobody would care, but make a film about mums and suddenly the first amendment is totally redacted. Probably some fanatics would burn down Kew Gardens.

Actually mums would probably work better in urine. "Piss Chrysanthemum."

We are organizing all news outlet to come to WH for a pow-wow. We will have headlines that build on each-other. GOP, you are on sight. There-IS-Nothing-You-Can-Do. Just watch Nixon in the ALL-PRESIDENT-Men. That is how GOP will get. Every-one is focusing on your weaknesses.

No, but if they did, it would be a perfect opportunity for Obama to call in one of his drone strikes.

Alas, Obama would likely reward AP&T with an opportunity to donate $3 and win a cat-nap in the Lincoln Bedroom.

But your comment does provoke a question. Does Obama call-in a drone strike or does he guide the device to the target himself? Is he a hands-off commander-in-chief like Clinton or is he more like Saruman, peering at and plotting agasinst the enemy through his palantir? Or even better, is he like the Sardaukar generals in the movie "Dune", manipulating his drones while twirling about in his little carousel of destruction?

If I knew that Obama did his own dirty work, I might have a higher regard for him.

Went to a showing of 2016. It reminded me that Bush was slammed for giving a speech at Bob Jones University, but if you mention that Barry spent most of his adult life listening to "God Damn America" you are of course, a racist.

Barry probably will win, There is no event that is not quickly spun to his benefit, with a complicit cheer leading media only too eager to help him finish in the next four years the transformation of America to a second rate power.

Beta Rube - in a prior post, on another day, I likened the media's fascination with and protection of Obama as akin to the media's fascination with and protection of JFK nearly 50 years ago. The media will take any action to ensure that the "New Camelot" lives-on. If those actions require lying, dissembling, covering-up or even marginalizing the US Constitution then so be it.

But as the Republic survived its own civil war, so will it survive this present hubub. And while Romney is no Lincoln, he is certainly not Obama's Buchanan.

Yeah, I know! I've loved the opera since I heard about it as a teenager, and I didn't get a chance to see it the last time it was revived in 1992. When I learned that it would be revived again at BAM this year, I diligently watched and waited until they finally released the on-sale dates, and I convinced my boyfriend to spring for the tickets. I'm a bit concerned, as he's not much of a connoisseur of music (especially of 5 hour long non-narrative operas) but I've given him fair warning of what to expect.

I'm not generally a fan of live performance, but "Einstein" is a special case; this is probably the last time it will be performed during the lifetimes of its creators (Philip Glass is 75 years old, Robert Wilson is 70 and Lucinda Childs is 72) so I'm definitely excited to see it.

No, he's losing. Why else all the polls so skewed to the Demos and the trolls killing themselves to spread the "Resistance is futile" meme? Why else are they begging for money (the new thing is garage sales)?

PS If the little animal is an independent contractor, somebody's getting robbed.

Nobody in Washington wants to cut spending, so the government is financing its debts by making the dollar cheaper. In effect, inflation is a tax that can be imposed by Bernanke without a vote from Congress.

As an inflation hedge for my retirement money I'm buying blue chip stocks. I would buy physical gold if the margin wasn't so gigantic.

I was so late to the "party," I hope y'all won't mind me sticking this here (also). Because over there I'm #401 on the list!

So, here goes:

The YouTube video, presumably a "movie" denigrating The Prophet, stops way, way short of exposing the whole truth - specifically regarding Mohammad's 6-year-old wife, Aisha, whom he mercifully didn't rape until she was 9 (thank Allah!).

In the "movie" her name is mentioned, but she's never depicted. After hearing her name, I expected to see a 6-year-old playing the part, but the movie wouldn't touch her burqa with a 10-foot pole. Although they did portray Mohammad as the philandering (but infallible) whoremaster he was.

Added: I believe most of you already know this stuff, but a few may not. Because even after a lifetime of knowing, I still can't accept such a "marriage" - even made in Allah-heaven.
